Being students, we were modest with personal funding as we've learned how to live cheaply while working hard. Based on what we live off during term time, this amount of funding is viable for us.
A loan is a big nono, we want 100% of funding to originate from customers. We would not be Kickstarting otherwise.
So we are in university until the end of June (2.5 months), full time development would begin at the start of July, ending with release at the start of October (3 months). Early access would be some point prior to that. I hope this justifies our timescale, although it does prove that we have not been clear enough with this matter.
We only started marketing after the Kickstarter page went live. From what you're saying it sounds like we need to start the promotion long before that. Thanks for your advice!
In terms of marketing, we compiled a huge list of review sites/subreddits/twitter profiles/email addresses/forums to promote to, trying to personalise messages as much as possible. Also plugging like crazy on Facebook.
Yeah that sounds like a good idea, we'll give one last push and see how it goes. Thanks!

Thanks for your comment, lots for consideration!
